Doreen Lawrence: 'How can I celebrate when my son lies buried?' - video

Stephen Lawrence's mother said the convictions of Gary Dobson and David Norris for his murder were not a cause for celebration. Speaking outside the Old Bailey in London, she was critical of the original Scotland Yard investigation into Stephen's death in 1993, saying: 'Had the police done their job properly, I would have spent the last 18 years grieving for my son rather than fighting to get his killers to court.'
